This is a gun board.  Of course most are going to vote Aliens best.  Even though they’re wrong.  The other two aren’t worth consideration.

There were only ever two Alien movies.  Nothing came out after Aliens.

So full auto airsoft (yes, the counter works, and yes it's fucking awesome).

Mine have been modded to get rid of the red shotgun shell and put a screen accurate pulse grenade in:

I also modded that one with the Desert Storm paint/markings.

Ripley had a body like my ex girlfriend except my girlfriend had bigger boobs.  Alien for the win with Ripley getting into her space suit in the end.  

Also my girlfriend said that choice of underwear didn't seem practical on a space mission.

I don't think that scene was written for 13 year olds in mind.  Weird Science maybe.

You didn't miss much.  It had some good parts, but overall was crap.

Alien, aliens, resurrection was OK, alien 3 was horrible. I personally like alien more than aliens cause it’s more of a horror than an action movie

Alien, The Thing, Terminator…

When all is said and done, they are horror movies with Sci Fi elements.
And they are fantastic.

TII is an action movie with Sci Fi elements.  It was fantastic.

Aliens is an action movie/.mil movie with Sci Fi elements.  It was fantastic.

Predator is a horror movie with Sci Fi/mil elements.  It was fantastic.

But, comparing Alien vs Aliens, Terminaror vs T2,
It sort of like comparing what is better…
A ‘69 Z28, ‘67 Vette, ‘70 Chevelle SS 454, or ‘67 Impala SS 427?

They are just not direct comparisons like say comparing between Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, Javelin, Barracuda, and Firebird.

1979’s Alien …. for two reasons.

First, Sigourney Weaver portrayal of Warrant Officer Ripley was the first strong female lead character I thought really knocked it out of the park. (Yeah, she was great in Aliens too).

Second, Alien tied with Mad Max as my favorite movie released that year.

Aliens but Alien was great also.

To this day, the scene in the dining bay when the alien bursts through the guy's torso...is still one of the best sequences in all of moviemaking.

I'm going to vote for Aliens...but that scene in Alien is better than anything from the sequel.

My favorite is Aliens. Saw it in the theater with a largely urban black audience. That made it an experience.

"No baby! No baby! Don't go in there baby! ... Awwww sheeeit!"

LMAO.

Trivia: The lasers used to create the effects in the chamber where Kane finds the eggs in Alien were borrowed from The Who. Alien was filmed at least in part at Shepperton Studios and Ridley Scott saw them in use for this:

The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again (Shepperton Studios / 1978)


And just for GD:

My wife generally doesn't get into si-fy as it is too unbelievable for her, but she really got into Alien....until the little girl scenes, she fucking lost it, had reoccurring night mares for days. Strong woman followed by protective mother.

Huh. They could have thrown a Warriors reference in.

"Bugs, come out to playayayayay!"



(Yes, I know Luther said that in The Warriors. It still would've worked.)
